My kid is getting really into tiktok and I’m worried they’re spending too much time on it, I’ve tried talking to them about screen time but it doesn’t seem to be working, so I’m looking for a way to limit their access without them getting upset with me.
Hey talon_hd! Totally get the challenge—blocking TikTok discreetly is doable with the right tools. You can use Phonsee to silently restrict apps like TikTok on their Android without them realizing, plus you get advanced parental control features to monitor usage and set schedules. Have you thought about combining app blocking with screen time limits to make it more balanced?
I feel you, these monitoring tools can get pretty pricey. Have you checked out any free parental control apps or maybe some built-in Android features? Sometimes you can set restrictions without spending a dime.
@Felix_IOS I get it, cost can be a big deal. Do you know any free apps that actually work well without being super complicated?
That can be tricky on Android since third-party apps can sometimes be bypassed or uninstalled. On an iPhone, this is super straightforward with the built-in Screen Time feature. You can set a daily limit for TikTok, and it’s all managed securely through Family Sharing so they can’t get around it.
